Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 709 Coincidence
When Gu Yanxi accompanied his mother in the carriage to Jingyanghou Mansion, he was still slightly shocked by the bustling scene in front of the Hou Mansion.

Because the old lady of the Jingyanghou Mansion is relatively high in terms of seniority and status in the capital, and the Jingyanghou Mansion is favored, everyone wants to come to build a relationship, and more importantly, today The emperors and empresses would all come to the Hou's Mansion at the same time to celebrate the old matriarch's birthday, such a scene would have been widely spread throughout the capital.

Even if it's for the icing on the cake, at this time, everyone wants to sharpen their heads and join the Hou's mansion, so when Gu's carriage lined up and slowly approached the Hou's mansion, Gu Yanxi simply put it down. Curtain, eyes closed leaning against the car wall to rest.

Seeing her daughter's lazy look, Lin who was sitting on the side smiled and patted Gu Yanxi's knee lightly, and said, "Why is she still looking listless? I'm going to the Hou Mansion soon, so sit down quickly. "

Luo Mei, who was waiting on the side, heard Lin's words and reached out to help Gu Yanxi up, but before she could touch Gu Yanxi, she heard Gu Yanxi's lazy words and said, "Mother, you don't have to be so nervous. , look at the congested road to Jingyanghou Mansion. Don’t think that it won’t arrive so soon without half an hour’s tossing. So you let me take a rest first, so that I can recharge my energy later. Have a good performance in the Houfu, don't you?"

Mrs. Lin glanced at her daughter who had many reasons for being lazy, what could she do?I can only get used to it first.

So, seeing Lin's no longer talking about Gu Yanxi, but lifting the curtain and looking outside for a couple of times, she finally retreated desperately, helped the exquisite jade hairpin in her hair, and said, "Although It was expected early in the morning that we might be tossing on the road for a while, but we didn’t expect such a toss; thankfully we left half an hour early, otherwise the birthday party would definitely be late.”

Gu Yanxi naturally heard her mother's words, and she smiled and said, "It seems that what Dad said is not all right."

Hearing Gu Yanxi's words suddenly aroused temporary curiosity: "Why did you mention your father? What did your father say?"

Gu Yanxi finally opened his eyes, but still looked at his mother lazily, and recalled for her: "Mother, have you forgotten what you said to me this morning? Tell me, the reason why the empress appeared in the The old matriarch's birthday banquet was to win the hearts of his subjects, so he will appear in Jingyanghou's mansion with a friendly look; but judging from the current situation, our emperor is far away. He has more brains than we imagined, because he came out of the palace to celebrate his birthday today, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone; on the one hand, it is to win over the courtiers, but there is another purpose, which is to show a calm appearance that is not affected by anything Appear in front of the people in the capital, so as to appease the hearts of the people in the capital who have been panicked by the war in recent days."

Hearing what her daughter said, Mrs. Lin also felt that there was a possibility in this regard, and couldn't help admiring: "No wonder there is a saying that goes like this, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. It seems that the heart of the emperor is really hard to fathom. It is really necessary to be cautious in everything. But Jiaojiao, you are also very smart, and you can see the emperor's intention so quickly, it really makes my mother look at you with admiration."

Gu Yanxi didn't think there was anything admirable and proud about seeing Emperor Liang Wu's true intentions.

Because at this time, no matter what Emperor Liang Wu did, it was understandable to her. However, the more abnormal Emperor Liang Wu was at this time, the more she could see his anxiety and pressure; it seemed that Feng Yichen The army really had a great influence on him, otherwise, how could it be possible for him to play all kinds of scheming and methods in such a panic at this time.

But at this time, Emperor Wu of Liang probably didn't know that no matter what he did now, he could no longer turn the tide; because Feng Yichen had been waiting and preparing for this battle for more than ten years; and more than ten years ago, However, Emperor Wu of Liang lived in this palace city and lived a pampered life. He had long forgotten that he was considered a generation of heroes.

An eagle whose feathers are gradually degenerating, even if it wants to spread its wings and fly, it is probably helpless.

Just when Gu Yanxi was lost in thought, she suddenly heard someone slapping the carriage from outside, and then heard Lu Yingying's familiar voice: "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, are you in here?"

Gu Yanxi, who was still thinking wildly at first, heard Lu Yingying's voice, and immediately sat up straight as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and asked Luo Mei to help lift up the car curtain, and poked his head out to look at the body. Sunshine Maiden wearing a fiery red cloak: "Yingying, are you here too?"

Seeing Gu Yanxi poking her head out, Lu Yingying quickly walked up to her, first greeted Lin who was sitting in the carriage, and then spoke to Gu Yanxi: "The birthday of the old lady of Jingyanghou Mansion is such a big happy event. Do you think I might not come?" At this point, Lu Yingying deliberately lowered her voice, and continued mysteriously: "Even if I don't want to join in the fun, I will be forced by my mother, okay? Right now , my elder brothers all went to war with my father, and no one stood up to speak for me. Now in the mansion, I am under the strict control of my mother, who is either forcing me to knead embroidery needles or force me to What do I learn from "Women's Rules" and "Women's Precepts", look at me quickly, I am about to be crushed by my mother, and she still refuses to let me go."

Speaking of the last sentence, Lu Yingying was about to sigh aggrievedly, her funny and vivid expression made Gu Yanxi and Luo Mei giggle.

As for the Lin family sitting in the carriage, after hearing Lu Yingying's words, she covered her mouth and smiled helplessly; this Lu's mansion is the home of military generals, and the children raised are naturally more beautiful than ordinary mansions. Livelier, especially the fourth girl of the Lu Mansion, who has a hearty, cute and straightforward personality. Although she is careless in many things, it is easy to cause criticism from others; but people with such a temperament are also quite cute. At least from Lin's point of view, the fourth girl from the Lu Mansion is pleasing to the eye and kind.

At this time, Gu Yanxi naturally didn't know what her mother thought of Lu Yingying in her heart, but she was interested in the person Lu Yingying mentioned just now.

Right now, all the men in Lu's mansion have gone to Jiuyang City to fight against the rebels, and General Lu is a good man who loves his wife, presumably even if he is on the battlefield, he will write letters to his family.

If she wanted to know the specific situation of Nine Suns City, she could just ask Lu Yingying directly, why did she need to spend all her time sending people to investigate around the capital?
Thinking of this method, Gu Yanxi immediately prepared to implement it.
